GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I loved most of the staff and academics. I enjoyed most of their electives and subjects. I learned a good amount of things like math and some science, however, my 8th grade year was cut short due to covid. When I attended this school it was at one of its peak years as I have learned that it is now a lot less strict.
